I've been playing for almost 45 years now, a few Yanigasawa saxes in the history, and after inheriting some cash last year, I decided to get a Selmer Supreme, to replace my Yani AW010.
It's a lovely instrument, beautiful sound, but I do not like the case.

The selection of cases in local shops is limited, so I'm looking for some suggestions. I want a rectangular case that I can pack in the car with my other gear. Quite often, I'm doubling and I have quite a bit of kit to move. Lots of shaped cases out there, but I've no interest in them.
The issues I have with the supplied case are: overly long straps that I trip over backstage, limited storage in the case, and being unable to lie the case flat on a table or floor to get ready for a gig. I find the storage is odd in that there are a couple of small pockets that can hold a few reeds, but not able to hold a padded neck strap.
The 2 previous altos were both Yanigaswa and their cases suit me well. I have some issues with left palm keys on the AW010 that led me to look elsewhere. I have Yamaha sop, tenor and bari (different models) but previous test play of Dragonbird stuck in my memory.
 
I'd think any case that fits other Selmer saoxphones (Mark 6 and later) would fit it. SKB and Pro-Tec both make nice rectangular cases with plenty of storage.

The "overly long straps" can be solved with a pair of scissors, I bet.
 
Check online sites. Otherwise, if you pay for the shipping, I have an extra Selmer SA80 case. It is yours if you wish. Cool retro look.
